DescentComposition from Permutation ​

The composition of n cut at the descent positions.

Permutation → Composition

Its parts sum to n and its length is one more than Descents — another statistic readable off a map. Removed once for erroring on words with no descents; Range(1, 0) never evaluates, so the short case has to be stated.

Called as CombinatorialMap(x, "DescentComposition"). The head's page has its examples.
